Optimistic and effervescent, for the Spring Summer 2023 Limited Edition Collection, colour was the starting point, as we looked to inject a feel-good spirit into the everyday. From tangerine to kiwi and candyfloss pink, consider this a multivitamin dressing method to satiate sartorial cravings, no matter the weather.

“This collection brings with it a sense of excitement. From hot pink heavy silks to a ribbed knit in chartreuse, the shades are energising and uplifting. With each Limited Collection, we have the freedom to be experimental, without constraints. And that’s really felt here. The shades are quite courageous, but really wearable at the same time.” – Gemma Hyde, Head of Design

Craftsmanship is key this season, with a focus on responsible materials woven throughout. Tactile woollens come with modern ribbing, while sturdy pieces of cotton feature beautiful smock detailing, bringing a whimsical touch to everyday denim. Shine comes via supple silks and satins, while buttery leathers – a Whistles signature – are turned into a statement trench coat in a crisp, off-white hue alongside modern accessories.

Co-ords offer a versatile take on day-to-day dressing: a bubblegum pink suit, rendered in a soft Italian cotton, is boardroom in essence, but the beach-cut shorts keeps the focus firmly on fun. Knitted separates in an energetic lilac propose a sporty mood, with the midriff-exposing crop top lending an air of Nineties nostalgia: layer under sharp tailoring in a vivacious Kelly green for a fresh take on smart-casual style.

Occasionwear is at high voltage: A hot pink midi dress with puffed sleeves and elegant tie-details balances hyper-femininity with an everyday sensibility. Elsewhere, a tone-on-tone bow print is a contemporary riff on the leopard motif, rendered in a mouth-watering tangerine satin. Meanwhile, feather-effect trims, crafted from chiffon, are decadent yet light, bringing an after-dark mood to both mini and midi silhouettes; in a strict monochrome palette, this is a palate cleanser from the platter of delicious shades.

Deep bordeaux and natural ecru hues bring a grounded edge but feel rich and refined when rendered in smooth leather and cosy chenille. With work-to-weekend wardrobes in mind, these pieces are versatile and deliberately trans-seasonal.

This season’s Limited Edition silhouettes are directional yet down-to-earth, with just the right amount of detail to ensure these must-have pieces continue to quench your sartorial thirst long after the summer sunsets.
